I have to confess that when I first glanced at the photo on my small screen iPhone, I thought the images were automatic watch movements

When we fυck up Nature so bad and ruin every possible ecosystem on Earth it is nice to at least have a little Nature on the coin faces 😵‍💫

I just now found your thread Spruce.

They look very ... modern.

I like the motifs. They are a bit souless though and pale in comparison to the best of the designs from the past 1000 years.



Even though I am an American I even like the old spade guinea of George III!

I prefer the original British coins depicting nature. Gold stater, Iceni tribe horse. 2000 years old.

Squirrels are nice, but they chew through your electric cables.

Hadrian was The Emperor, he simply said "Make it so!"

The builder was Mr O'Reilly

Get rid of the 1 and 2 cents

Australia got rid of ours years ago for the round up or down system….👍

So Australia jumps from minutes directly to days?

"The six hundred and thirty-seven to Darwin departs in zero point zero one zero four one six six six repeated days. Please ensure you take all your belongings with you."

Darwin = we measure days in cartons of beer
1x day fishing = 1x carton
3x days fishing = 3x cartons etc;
